Nothing D specific really, they argued that the article should remain clean since the test was designed for *Algol*, not D. It's not a language competition, people only want to know what the 'Man or boy test' is. By your logic, all those programming articles should include 500+ implementations of the algorithm in various languages to avoid any kind of discrimination. It's a general purpose encyclopedia, not a language competition, understand that? Write your competition code to sites like rosettacode. The implementations are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/ Submissions/Man_or_boy_test_implementations They haven't yet decided whether they're worth a new article. > They have even removed D > examples from the template metaprogramming page, etc. etc. ? What else? The generic programming constructs of D have already been discussed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_programming#Templates_in_D Repeating the same shit provides little additional value IMHO. I think the whole template metaprogramming article is redundant and all the metaprogramming articles should have a better organization. The particular D code that was removed was: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Template_metaprogramming&diff=64616972&oldid=64616688 The discussion page mentions it doesn't add any value and I can't disagree. The article should really go through review. It also discusses static polymorphism which isn't only related to templates. CRTP is also possible in Java, C#, Scala etc. It should be removed from that page. It actually already has a new page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring_template_pattern > The page about CTFE resists still: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compile_time_function_execution Resists? You weren't able to fill it with D propaganda? It already lists the DigitalMars pages as only references. And provides 2/3 examples in D.
